QUEBEC - A group of hard-luck U.S. tourists, who 10 days ago saw their vacation take a turn for the worse when their cruise ship ran aground, was recuperating Monday from a new mishap: a bus crash. Police said 10 of the 40 on the bus, mainly elderly people, were rushed to a nearby hospital and treated for minor cuts and fractures after their bus left the road and ended up in a ditch near the city of Quebec on Sunday. The 2,000 passengers aboard the Norwegian luxury cruise ship Norwegian Sky were offered reimbursements and free flights to New England after the ship ran aground on the St. Lawrence on Aug. 24. But some decided to tour the Quebec area.
